Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten Information
Enrollment eligibility for Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten are determined by California Education Code (Section 46300, 48000, and 48010). The date a child turns four or five years of age determines their placement.
Kindergarten: A child is eligible for Kindergarten for the CURRENT 2024-2025 school year if his/her fifth birthday is on or before September 1, 2024. A child is eligible for Kindergarten for the FUTURE 2025-2026 school year if his/her fifth birthday is on or before September 1, 2025.
Transitional Kindergarten (TK): TK is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program and uses a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate. A child will be required to complete a full year of Kindergarten the following school year.
A child is eligible for TK for the CURRENT 2024-2025 school year if his/her fifth birthday is on or between September 2, 2024 - June 2, 2025. A child is eligible for TK for the FUTURE 2025-2026 school year if his/her fourth birthday is on or before September 1, 2025.
Transition from TK to Universal TK:
In the year 2025-2026 and thereafter, children turning four by September 1 will be admitted to a TK program in the district.
